ARM: 8864/1: Add workaround for I-Cache line size mismatch between CPU cores

Some big.LITTLE systems have I-Cache line size mismatch between
LITTLE and big cores. This patch adds a workaround for proper I-Cache
support on such systems. Without it, some class of the userspace code
(typically self-modifying) might suffer from random SIGILL failures.

Similar workaround already exists for ARM64 architecture. I has been
added by commit 116c81f427ff ("arm64: Work around systems with mismatched
cache line sizes").

ARM: 8826/1: mm: initialize pfn limits with find_limits()

The max_low_pfn value must be set before sparse_init() is called to
keep the early memblock allocations and frees balanced for kmemleak
initialization when sparsemem is enabled.

This commit accomplishes that by replacing the local variables min,
max_low, and max_high with the global limit variables min_low_pfn,
max_low_pfn, and max_pfn respectively in bootmem_init(). The global
variables are initialized directly by find_limits() and used in the
remainder of the function.

ARM: 8820/1: mm: Stop printing the virtual memory layout

Since commit ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with
%p"), the virtual memory layout printed during boot up contains "ptrval"
instead of actual addresses:

Memory: 501296K/524288K available (6144K kernel code, 528K rwdata, 1944K rodata, 1024K init, 7584K bss, 22992K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)
Virtual kernel memory layout:
vector : 0xffff0000 - 0xffff1000 ( 4 kB)
fixmap : 0xffc00000 - 0xfff00000 (3072 kB)
vmalloc : 0xe0800000 - 0xff800000 ( 496 MB)
lowmem : 0xc0000000 - 0xe0000000 ( 512 MB)
modules : 0xbf000000 - 0xc0000000 ( 16 MB)
.text : 0x(ptrval) - 0x(ptrval) (7136 kB)
.init : 0x(ptrval) - 0x(ptrval) (1024 kB)
.data : 0x(ptrval) - 0x(ptrval) ( 529 kB)
.bss : 0x(ptrval) - 0x(ptrval) (7585 kB)

Instead of changing the printing to "%px", and leaking virtual memory
layout information again, just remove the printing completely, cfr. e.g.
commits 071929dbdd865f77 ("arm64: Stop printing the virtual memory
layout") and 31833332f7987636 ("m68k/mm: Stop printing the virtual
memory layout").

All interesting information (actual section sizes) is already printed by
mem_init_print_info() just above anyway.

ARM: 8780/1: ftrace: Only set kernel memory back to read-only after boot

Dynamic ftrace requires modifying the code segments that are usually
set to read-only. To do this, a per arch function is called both before
and after the ftrace modifications are performed. The "before" function
will set kernel code text to read-write to allow for ftrace to make the
modifications, and the "after" function will set the kernel code text
back to "read-only" to keep the kernel code text protected.

The issue happens when dynamic ftrace is tested at boot up. The test is
done before the kernel code text has been set to read-only. But the
"before" and "after" calls are still performed. The "after" call will
change the kernel code text to read-only prematurely, and other boot
code that expects this code to be read-write will fail.

The solution is to add a variable that is set when the kernel code text
is expected to be converted to read-only, and make the ftrace "before"
and "after" calls do nothing if that variable is not yet set. This is
similar to the x86 solution from commit 162396309745 ("ftrace, x86:
make kernel text writable only for conversions").

ARM: 8722/1: mm: make STRICT_KERNEL_RWX effective for LPAE

Currently, for ARM kernels with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE and
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled, the 2MiB pages mapping the
kernel code and rodata are writable. They are marked read-only in
a software bit (L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY) but the hardware read-only bit
is not set (PMD_SECT_AP2).

For user mappings, the logic that propagates the software bit
to the hardware bit is in set_pmd_at(); but for the kernel,
section_update() writes the PMDs directly, skipping this logic.

The fix is to set PMD_SECT_AP2 for read-only sections in
section_update(), at the same time as L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY.

ARM: 8696/1: mm: Remove dead code in mem_init()

The code in question checks memory constrains to set default policy for
overcommit; however we support page size of 4K only thus condition is
always evaluated to false. Remove that dead code.

Freeing unused kernel memory: 1024K (c0d00000 - c0e00000)

The stop_machine() is called with cpus = NULL from fix_kernmem_perms() and
mark_rodata_ro() which means only one CPU will execute
update_sections_early() while all other CPUs will spin and wait. Hence,
it's safe to remove tasklist locking from update_sections_early(). As part
of this change also mark functions which are local to this module as
static.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task.h> file that just

bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

Round the initrd memblock reservation to page boundaries to prevent
